James Cook Hotel Grand Chancellor
Check in and check out was a breeze with very friendly staff. Rooms were tidy and spacious. Shower was huge with excellent pressure. Towels were soft and a great size. Beds and pillows were very comfortable. Would not hesitate to recommend to family and friends. Will definitely stay again.

Didn't have breakfast, so no comment. The major restaurant was closed, but the Peltonen had a simple menu and their food was excellent. Well done to who ever is in charge of Food & Beverage there
